Preflop is RR/fold for me almost always. If I called it would be with the intention of donking or c/r'ing a lot of flops (like this one).

Readless I'd probably c/f the river unless he bet $8 again. Then I call and get pissed because he took me to valuetown w/ Q4. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

does check raising this flop turn my 9 into a bluff
